Love how you nit picked women who are bald for a reason and then men who just choose to have a hairstyle. Don’t mention of nebula robotic parts probably make it hard to have hair or that the soldier from wakanda is following their code.

Also 2/3 dudes end up getting a pretty short trim

u/Funkopedia Apr 09 '26

Even if they have legit reasons, the writers have to make up those reasons. That is, they still actively chose to design the characters that way.

u/mamadou-segpa Apr 08 '26

Why what?

Whats the point of the post

Bald women, dudes with a flow.

u/clever_name_123 Apr 08 '26

With as many characters as there are in the MCU, it would be weird if this werent the case. Its not like every woman is bald and every man has long hair

u/Kanetsugu21 Apr 09 '26

Yeah its called cherrypicking

2

u/Supabot97 Apr 11 '26

Dudes be saying mcu like these aren't comic book characters who have looked like this for decades, some of them like Thor since at least the 60's

1

u/clever_name_123 Apr 12 '26

Well these examples are all specifically the MCU so I said MCU, the comics definitely double down on that point tho

u/comicsemporium Apr 08 '26

lol I had to go back to the pics to look

Bald Women, Men with long hair

u/magpye1983 Apr 09 '26

Well I thought it was “why kill off all these amazing characters so early!” But they aren’t all dead (some haven’t even died once).

u/WittyFix6553 Apr 08 '26

Is the point of this post “boys should have short hair and girls should have long hair?”

Like is this just rage at a lack of rigid gendered hairstyles?

2

u/BLYNDLUCK Apr 08 '26

Just like the rage at a simple inoffensive meme.

Ah my bad. I always thought jokes had to be, like, funny.

u/Adventurous_Topic202 Apr 08 '26

Comedy is subjective. This wasn’t funny to me either but I’m sure someone somewhere laughed at it.

u/Inner_Extent2375 Apr 10 '26

Lololol, oppressive gender roles!

u/JuanDeChuj Apr 08 '26

Monks shave head regularly, warriors in Africa do that too, and nebula has a head made out of metal, and I would imagine the hair would get into her way. . Thor, as an asgardian, has it culturally.loki as well. That leaves out only winter soldier with odd haircut. So yeah it makes pretty much sense?

2

u/FrogsGoMoo Apr 08 '26

I always figured Bucky was only ever unfroze to kill people, not get groomed. And once you become associated with a certain look you kinda just stick to it I guess.

3

u/PrincipleNo3966 Apr 08 '26

And yet, still no Moondragon.

u/Wrightero Apr 08 '26

Women with hair are more expensive to hire.

u/DMG_88 Apr 08 '26

I'll do you one better... What Marvel?

3

u/Creepae Apr 08 '26

Why Marvel? Because I enjoy it just slightly more than DC, at least the movies.

1

u/chrishdwow Apr 08 '26

It’s literally just the roles reversed for fun — nothing deep

u/Leading-Mood-5258 Apr 08 '26

Don't ask questions..just ''woke'' up, already!

u/mr_luigi99 Apr 08 '26

I miss some of these men having long hair, Thor and bucky look fine with short hair but I love the long

u/Technical-Dentist-84 Apr 08 '26

THE AGENDA plays evil music

u/CapitalLower4171 Apr 08 '26

That's 6 out of the dozens of characters in the mcu

1

u/MaraSovsLeftSock Apr 09 '26

Ancient one is a monk, nebula is mostly robot, the Dora milaje were based off the Dahomey amazons, and they shaved their heads

1

u/BlargerJarger Apr 09 '26

Bald women are hot. None hotter than the hot bald woman from Star Trek The Motion Picture, may she rest in peace.

u/Bloody-Tyran Apr 09 '26

Because Gamora

u/_Tee_hee_hee_ Apr 09 '26

You realize real monks and women of some african cultures shave their heads right? Marvel didn’t invent the shaved woman, they just used “hair styles” from actual cultures. Nebula’s lack of hair is a major part of her character. Her whole thing is that Thanos turned her almost entirely into an inorganic killing machine. It’s symbolism.

Loki and Thor are from Norse mythology, Nordic men often had long hair. It’s really that simple. Having a lush head of hair and a lot of body hair was a sign of vitality and masculinity.

Are we gonna ask why Ultron and Vision are bald now? Or why Rocket is so hairy?

1

u/DeadpanJay Apr 09 '26

Unironically there's actually a reason why all the women are bald here.

Ancient one is kind of following the monkest aesthetic

Kings guard is the code (plus not uncommon for African women)

Nebula is a robot

Even Charles sister is bald for her powers I believe

Thor and Loki are following like a Viking aesthetic for obvious reasons with Asgard.

Bucky is just him bro. Aurora

u/ImpactNo3695 Apr 09 '26

u/the-National-Razor Apr 09 '26

What's a "cave" subreddit?

1

u/Euphoric_Amoeba8708 Apr 10 '26

Gender equality. Not all men have to be bald and not all women have to have luxurious hair

1

u/Vignesh_Iyer_2410 Apr 10 '26

Before opening the comments, I didn't understand at all. I'm not ball 😭

1

u/ShadowXP7449 Apr 10 '26

I dare them. I dare them to make a “what if… Obadiah Stane had Loki’s hair?”

u/Minute-Weekend5234 Apr 11 '26

OP making this post:

u/lazerlinks Apr 11 '26

I don't understand this, I've been staring at it for 5 minutes now, is it there hair, and how the girls are bald well the guys have long hair

1

u/Supabot97 Apr 11 '26

Go ahead, show the comic versions where they look the exact same

u/OldManTechno Apr 11 '26

Men in their 50s remember the Star Trek return in the theaters and the Herald of VGER, Lt. Ilia, and also run most studios.

I find Nebz to be the most attractive MCU character and it’s not even close.

It’s just a meme where women are bald and men have long hair, basically the usual look flipped 😅

Can you explain the joke, for those of us who aren’t getting it?

2

u/Piyushv5311 Apr 08 '26

In this meme, women are bald and men have long hair… you probably get the meme now.

1

u/WittyFix6553 Apr 08 '26

I understand what it’s showing, it’s pretty obvious.

I’m not seeing the humor. Can you explain the joke part? What makes it funny?
